While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.

The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.

Non-homeowners are becoming less and less likely to buy a home, according to a new Gallup poll.

The percentage of non-homeowning Americans who say they don’t think they’ll buy a home “in the foreseeable future” has risen to 41%, up from 31% just two years ago, according to Gallup.

The short-term housing market, however, may see little change; non-homeowners’ expectations of buying a house within the next five years stayed essentially the same between 2013 and 2015, dropping just one percentage point from 37% to 36%. But the dramatic drop in long-term plans to purchase a home may have an effect on the long-term market, Gallup reports.

“One of the long-running facets of the ‘American Dream’ has been the ability to buy a house,” writes Gallup’s Art Swift. “Yet seven years after the market crashed in 2007-2008, it appears that a renewal of zeal for home buying may not yet be evident in the United States.”
